The "net-zero" scenario that Sec. Wright is railing against forecasts oil prices dropping by more than half in 10yrs (translating to sub-$2/gallon gas). Wright and the Trump WH's preferred scenario would RAISE oil prices by more than 10% in the next 10yrs www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Congress is hijacking the management of national public land - Gunnison Country Times A seismic shift in federal land management is underway due to Congress using an obscure law in ways it was never intended.

“Ironically, by upending precedent in this way, Congress has unleashed regulatory uncertainty on America’s public lands—threatening both conservation & recreation as well as the industrial interests prioritized by President Trump.”

If I was based in Alaska I'd be on the next flight to Nuiqsut. ConocoPhillips, the North Slope Borough, & BLM under Trump will do everything they can to suppress information about the drilling rig accident that took place on Friday. Same thing happened with the gas leak in 2022.

My attempt to explain the skepticism Pacific people have of deep sea mining. Please give it a read and a share.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

The Trump Administration Is Erasing American History Told by Public Lands and Waters Through a series of executive orders targeting place names, signage on, and access to public lands and waters, the Trump administration is erasing important chapters of American history.

Amazing new piece by my colleagues @taotaotasi.bsky.social and Sam Zeno: The Trump administration is rewriting the stories told by America's public lands & waters in an attempt to undermine the country's history and redefine who America is for www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The Trump Administration Is Allowing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse To Fester in the Federal Oil and Gas Program Despite a professed dedication to cutting waste and inefficiency, the Trump administration has turned a blind eye to an exceptionally wasteful area of the federal government: the oil and gas program.

The Trump administration is making it easier for oil and gas companies to get away with corruption and fraud–and wasting taxpayer dollars while they’re at it. https://ow.ly/rUow50X8BrU

The Trump Administration Is Allowing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse To Fester in the Federal Oil and Gas Program Despite a professed dedication to cutting waste and inefficiency, the Trump administration has turned a blind eye to an exceptionally wasteful area of the federal government: the oil and gas program.

Americans need to look no further than Trump's own federal oil and gas program to know that he is turning a blind eye to a massive source of waste, fraud, and corruption. And deeming it all 'essential' while the government is shutdown. Classic. Read more: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

It’s happening again ‼️ The Trump administration is trying to open up 88 million acres of public lands to development—threatening America’s oldest forests, risking wildlife habitats, and endangering drinking water for millions of people.

House Republicans just passed their big billionaire bailout bill — a bill that threatens the loss of jobs, raises costs, and defunds programs dedicated to reducing pollution ON TOP of large cuts to healthcare access and food assistance.

Republicans are planning to blow up Senate rules this week in order to deliver in a win for the oil industry, but they could leave every other industry exposed in a big way.

Excerpt from the Center for American Progress piece published at https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-house-republican-plan-to-increase-gas-and-electricity-prices/ The House Republican bill would: Raise gasoline prices by 25 cents to 37 cents per gallon by 2035 as demand for oil increases due to the termination of federal electric vehicle affordability programs, fuel economy standards, and tailpipe emission standards. Repeal the financial support for buying new, used, or leased electric vehicles, which would keep between 22 million and 40 million more gasoline-powered cars and trucks on the road through 2035, as roughly one-third of families who would have tried to switch to an electric vehicle can no longer afford one. Increase electricity prices for households and industry as roughly two-thirds of the wind and solar that was previously expected to be deployed this decade is not built. This would cause annual home electric bills to jump $70 by 2031. This corroborates other analysts who found, in some cases even higher electricity price increases. The Clean Energy Buyers Association forecasts an increase of $110 in household electricity spending by 2026. Force Americans to pay the oil and gas industry an additional $339 billion for gasoline and $75 billion for electricity by 2035.

Wow, the House Republican tax bill would increase gas prices. By a lot. Up to 37¢ per gallon!

New numbers published by CAP show how ending clean energy investment props up demand for fossil fuels, raises prices, and makes households pay an extra $400b over the next decade to Big Oil and Gas.

under the republican reconciliation bill, if the country enters severe recession with a 9.9% unemployment rate and so you lose your job, then you and your 8yo kid lose your food assistance because you’re considered a moocher under their new requirements.

profoundly evil stuff.

Congress’ Tax Bill Is Selling Out America’s Public Lands and Waters The tax bill would now include the largest sellout of public lands by Congress in modern U.S. history.

If passed, Trump's bill to provide tax cuts for billionaires would be the largest successful attack by Congress on U.S. lands and waters in modern American history. The latest from @jennyrowlandshea.bsky.social and Drew McConville:

House Republicans last night proposed a brand new “de-risking compensation” scheme for new fossil fuel projects. It’s a great example of how a party can make terrible policy choices when the only thing it cares about is propping up the profits of an allied industry. Here’s how it works.
